I was hoping they would elaborate on what had happened, as the article stated "more to follow.........." when I first posted it.

Levy will be :levystare:
 
I know what he did breached some 'rules' or something or other but come on FA. He didn't bet on himself so any allegations of match-fixing are ridiculous (although to my knowledge there have been none). And Troy is a banterous lad so at the end of the day when all's said and done just give the lad a slap on the wrists and send him on his way.
 
You have to applaud the FA.

Many people accuse them of fence-sitting, but faced with really serious problems, this association really knows when and how to put their foot down.

There was a professional gambler in Scotland that made a living off going to third division teams' grounds and asking them for the team news. Betting sites didn't realise that there was no "home" advantage in the Scottish lower leagues so often their odds were very skewed against the away team, even if the home side had half of their players missing and were in poor form.

He eventually got investigated etc. but obviously did nothing wrong so kept his winnings.

Thanks for the benefit of the doubt, but, I spent so much time making sure that I had the first part right that I forgot to double check the "joke" part.

I don't speak any Norwegian, but I learned some Danish watching all three series of Borgen over the course of four days. :adelol:

I've had a thought - if I happen to spot Jack Wilshere the morning before a game, go over and stamp on his glass ankles and put him out of the match he is technically in breach of 'BETTING E8 (b)'. :parker:
